Aid

The created action plan allows the mentee to clearly define the specific personal goals they want to achieve. Some are achievable already during the mentoring process, others may have a longer time horizon. For each of these goals, the mentee determines:

Supporters: People who can provide support, advice or help in achieving a goal (eg mentor, peers, experts).

Activities: Specific steps and activities that will be undertaken to achieve the stated goal.

Skills to be fostered: Specific personal or professional skills that will be developed through the activities, helping the mentee to grow professionally.

From-to deadline: A time frame for each objective that specifies when the achievement of that objective should begin and be completed.

Costs: Estimated expenses associated with the implementation of individual activities (e.g. training costs).

Activity status: Continuous control and monitoring of the stage in which individual activities are and whether the objectives have been met (e.g. planned / started / partially met / fulfilled).

An action plan helps the mentee keep track of their goals, plan their activities, and effectively track their progress in professional development.
